George Thomas Reed In Memoriam National Merit Scholarship Certificate Winner Member of National Honor Society Bausch Lomb Honorary Science Award Recipient Posthumously Graduated with Distinction Scholarship Rank In Memoriam During the past year Academy suffered the loss of one of its most dedi- cated teachers. Because of his great patience and understanding manner, George McLean was an excellent instructor of driver education. He was per- sonally interested in the welfare of the students and always promoted it. Mr. McLean came to Academy in 1949 and taught full-time driver educa- tion here for eight years. An energetic community member, he taught driver education in the Erie Driving School, the Veterans' School, Gannon College, and summer school. In addition, he was active in the Federation of Teachers and held office in the Pennsylvania Association for Safety Education. He re- ceived the Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1933. Academy was his high school alma mater as well as the place where his years of service terminated. George McLean will be remembered by those who knew him as a con- scientious teacher and a loyal friend. JJOZ psn 338 0 SS31 joiW’i pwP' «VP 0 sjos VV Dedication Creating ways to make Latin interesting to high school students is not an easy job. However, during her thirty-five years of teaching at Academy, Miss Rider continuously achieved this aim. Her interest in each individual student stemmed from her personal dedication to teaching. Although serious in nature. Miss Rider is remembered for her good sense of humor and original wit. She was the spark-plug of the lively Latin banquets and assemblies held during her tenure as a teacher. The Academe staff takes pride in dedicating our 1958 edition to Miss Rider, whose patience, help, and understanding will be gratefully remembered by the thousands of students who have known her. 4 Foreword Sketching this chapter of the history of Academy has been a challenging task for the staff of the Academe. We have attempted to select that which was outstanding from a great deal that was noteworthy. We have tried to give some recognition to every per- son who helped to make the year a successful one. Because we wanted to produce a book that would reaffirm our faith in the funda- mental beliefs that direct the efforts of our school in the activities as well as in the formal studies, we have developed a theme which is itself an expression of the basic philosophy of American education. We sincerely hope that the statement of principles which begins each section of your Academe will recall to you the educational values acquired during the past year at Academy. Table of Contents Seniors 10 Activities 54 Athletics 86 Faculty 106 Underclassmen 120 Health Command of Fundamental Processes Ethical Character and Vocation Worthy Use of Leisure and Civic Education Worthy Home Membership I wish to compliment the staff of the 1958 Academe for having undertaken the task of pinpointing the seven cardinal principles of American education and for having shown within the covers of this book how we at Academy try to apply them in actual practice. These basic principles have guided the educational policies of this country and have stood the test of time. We reaffirm our faith in them today. But a democratic community is a dynamic community and its basic ingredient is flexibility to meet the challenge of the changing times. We shall meet that challenge by improving our methods, our skills, and our techniques. We shall do this calmly and as intelligently as we can. And we shall do it within the framework of our way of life. GUY A. MINADEO Principal 8 May the friendships, facts, and skills gained during your years at Academy as- sist you all through life. In turn, may you so live that your part in community affairs will make your community a better place in which to live. MABEL STUDEBAKER, Ped. D. Assistant Principal In the future, as you look back upon the familiar faces in this Academe, I hope you will recall the many pleasures you experienced during your school years at Academy. LEROY E. BARBER, Ed. D. Assistant Principal 9 Because ETHICAL CHARACTER is the essence of success in a democratic society, the individual should acquire this trait early in life. Realizing this, the secondary schools have fostered its development. Among the means for doing this may be mentioned the wise selection of content and methods of study, the making of social contacts, and pro- viding opportunities for the development of sense of personal reponsibility, initiative, spirit of service, and the principles of democracy. The senior must also be equipped to secure a livelihood for himself and those de- pendent on him. Education for VOCATION should also teach serving society through vocation, maintaining right relationships with fellow workers, and finding one's own best development in his chosen occupation. Guidance is given to students in choosing the field that will best answer these needs. The varied courses in high school offer preparation for many fields of endeavor. 11 Here is a quartet we are proud to have for our senior class officers: Peter Delio, president; Mary McCann, secretary; Nancy Dailey, treasurer; and George Gunther, vice-president.

Zimmerly CUTEST COUPLE—Carol Skinner and Ray Angelo look forward to the beginning of after school fun. Commencement Listening to The Lord's Prayer sung by the A Cappelia Choir, the address of welcome, and the presentation of the theme, The Job Is Different, the senior class of 1957 contemplated the future. This was the last moment of school —this was graduation. The diplomas, signed by A. R. Minadeo, A. P. Logan, John M. Hickey, and Guy A. Minadeo, affirmed the fact that twelve years of for- mal education were at an end. A. R. Minadeo, M.D., Presi- dent of Board of Education A. P. Logan, B.S., Secretary and Business Manager of the School District. John M. Hickey, Ph.D., Super- intendent of Schools. Guy A. Minadeo, M.Ed., Principal of Academy High School. 52 'litti s l|di 1 VV 5jf THIS CERTIFIES THAT 'rwfrJee j m UL I tied Not everyone can participate in every activity such as running for a Senate office, but everyone can vote for an officer. Everyone is excited on the day the senior proofs arrive. Nothing gives the student a greater thrill than being inducted into the National Honor Society. Participation in the activities that Academy offers helps to equip the individual for WORTHY USE OF LEISURE. He learns to secure from his leisure time the relaxing of body, mind, and spirit, and the enrichment and enlargement of his personality. CIVIC EDUCATION is also imparted to the student through participation in relevant activities. While developing talents and ambitions through activities, he learns to appre- ciate honest difference of opinion and the civic duties of democracy. 55 SENATE OFFICERS AND CHAIRMEN: Herb Armes, vice-president; Frank Pettinato, president; John Dumeyer, safety chairman; Mary Alice Rathbun, secretary; Ann Press, assembly chairman. We the students . . . Our school governmental body, the Senate, pro- vides an opportunity for the students to see and be a part of the American type of democratic government. As the voice of the entire school it can reward merit, register complaint and act upon it, plan social activities, and do anything else for the welfare of the school. Under the supervision of Miss Studebaker, the Sen- ate is engaged in many activities. These include sponsor- ing paid assemblies, conducting welfare drives, present- ing key awards and citizenship awards, and making plans to sponsor a foreign exchange student. Each homeroom elects a representative to the Senate. The entire student body elects the Senate offi- cers at the close of second semester for the succeeding year. Senators and officers are officially recognized on Gavel Day, a traditional assembly ceremony, when they are presented to the faculty and the students. ROW 1: M. A. Rathbun, secretary; H.

Senate Key Awards Believing that recognition of good citizenship is as important as recognition of ex- cellence in academic studies or athletics, the Senate presents Key Awards for outstand- ing citizenship in a school organization. The award is a gold key presented to only one person out of every twenty members of an organization. Candidates for the award are nominated either by the faculty adviser or his fellow members, depending upon the nature of the organization. The faculty must approve the final winners. The recipients of the Senate Key Awards for the school year of 1956-57 are listed within the key. 58 ROW 1: Ruth Angelotti, Virginia Gott. ROW 2: Jonathan Carrier, Norma Barnes, Kenneth Asplund.

Twenty-four members of the class of 1957 won $36,000 worth of scholarships for outstanding scholastic records, rank in college board examina- tions, and participation in extra-curricular activities. This amount also includes the annual PTA scholar- ships. Besides scholarships, our seniors earn many awards. Twenty seniors received awards for out- standing abilities in school activities and academic subjects, and eight seniors won senior class awards. Three seniors were also the recipients of the Distrib- utive Education award, the Senate award, and the Y-teens award. Some seniors received both scholar- ships and awards. The scholarship and award win- ners of the class of 1957 are pictured here. NOT PICTURED: Charles Thomas, Delores Sulkowski.

High Achievements— Everyone’s Goal Being strictly an honorary organization, the Na- tional Honor Society is organized to give recognition to students who show notable promise in the direction of its ideals — character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Twice a year, in December and April, the members of NHS plan an induction ceremony to admit new members. The faculty selects the members, but the con- stitution limits membership to only fifteen per cent of each year's class. Social activities consist of an annual city-wide ban- quet in October, an initiation party in February, and an initiation picnic or party in the spring. tlno. ROW 3: J. Lamborn, L. Schoenberg, F.

Y-TEEN OFFICERS: Robin Brooks, president; Miss Sisley, adviser; Heidi Martin, secretary; Mary Alice Rath- bun, vice-president; Miss Stull, adviser. To Know and Understand— This Is Our Goal Besides being one of Academy's most active or- ganizations, our Y-Teen club is the largest. Over 450 Academy girls are a part of this nationwide organiza- tion. The officers and faculty advisers. Miss Stull and Miss Sisley, are always busy planning the activities of our club: meetings, socials, and services. By attending the Y-Teen meetings and socials and performing a number of services, a girl learns to get along with others — other races, creeds, and religions. She grows in th£ knowledge and love of God and de- velops as a person. Service is the main purpose of the club. By filling Thanksgiving baskets, selling Christmas seals, stuffing Easter seal envelopes, distributing small gifts to chil- dren's homes and homes for the aged, and by assisting at various school functions, this purpose is fulfilled.

Debaters Talk Their Way to Success To develop confidence and facility in public speaking and ability to analyze and organize is the objective of the debate team. Instructed by Mrs. Von Korff, the Academy team during the year met vari- ous high schools of the surrounding area, debating on a question concerned with foreign aid. Among these high schools were Wesleyville, Harborcreek, Lawrence Park, McDowell, North East, and Villa Maria. The fifteen members also participated in in- terscholastic debate with Jamestown, Butler, and Meadville. In addition to these activities, the society pre- sented an entertaining play entitled The Mystery of Mouldy Manor, attended the annual Erie County Debate League Banquet, and raised funds for their enterprises by selling candy in front of the office after school. 64 . . therefore, . . . and Kathy Spath scores another victory. A Harmonizing Session During the year Academy stu- dents have enjoyed the harmony of twenty-one cheerful voices which were directed by Mr. Grender. The Male Chorus participated in Christ- mas and Spring Concerts per- formed in the evening and also during the school time for the stu- dents. While learning to contribute to the pleasure of others, the mem- bers learn unison, rhythm, and four-part harmony. Tenors—hitting the high notes. ROW 1: J. Decarol is, secretary; D.

Much of the credit for the Choir's excellent performance goes to Mr. Obed L. Grender, conductor. His knowledge of music and his very capable direction are prime factors for its success. Practicing daily, the sixty-eight members fill the auditorium with their sing- ing during second period. Their efforts really pay off at the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts. The choir also presents programs for other schools and various organizations in the city. An annual out-of-town concert is a trip eagerly looked forward to by the members.

Academy's Girls' Chorus consists of fifty-two girls of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The melodious voices of these girls are trained and developed throughout the school year by their energetic director Mr. Grender. Many hours of rehearsal go into the assembly programs and the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts. Although it takes a great deal of co-operation and practice, the result-is a chorus whose many voices blend as one in harmony. ROW 1: C. Clark, J. Hersperger, M. Astemborski, B. Malinowski, K.

By its spirited numbers and snappy routines at athletic events, the band really boosts the school spirit. Its performances of a more serious nature at the Instrumental Concert and Academy On Parade are equally well given. No band could be a success without a capable director.

They add sparkle and zest to our football games and make attractive appearances in parades.

This is a difficult job and could not be done without the fine co-operation the staff receives from everyone concerned. Our staff of twenty-four members is divided into sections: seniors, ' activities, sports, faculty, underclassmen, and business. Each section must produce accurate work and meet their deadlines. Judy Lavosky and Charlotte Legenzoff, together with faculty advisers, Mr. Balia and Mr. Ferrare keep a close supervision on all work. Pat Clemens, Anne Minsiveris, Martha Kons, and Yvonne Phillips find that the dummy must be altered to accommodate all the underclassmen Nancy Miller thought she was about finished typing copy sheets for pictures. the deadline, but Nancy Dennington just handed her a new batch. Mr. Balia and Mr. Ferrare give copy sheets and 3-R layouts a final check before shipping. Business Manager Charlotte Legenzoff and Editor Judy Lavosky check a list of the pages due on the next deadline. Dave Whipple, business manager; Mr. Kantz, advisor; and Jim Fisher, editor, give the Star copy its all-important last checking. Facility Plus Originality Equals a First-Rate School Paper The Academy Star, our school newspaper, is now in its thirty-seventh year of continuous publication. It is the official source of the latest news around Academy and is the result of the combined effort of the whole school, particularly of the Star staff under the expert direction of Mr. Kantz, their faculty adviser. In addi- tion to publishing our Star, the staff conducts other activities for the good of the school. Among these are conducting the sales campaign, sponsoring a dance, and presenting an assembly. Meeting the fifth period every day, the twenty-four members learn that there is more to printing a paper than just writing articles. There are headlines to be composed, copy to be checked, news to be reported, layouts to be planned, and other responsibilities to be carried out. By performing effectively these assignments as they arise, the staff learns the techniques of journalism. Nancy Dailey takes a quick break while Barb Jones continues typing a stack of last minute copy. Dave Chapman and Bob Davis, art editors, discuss the position of a drawing on page 3.

A. V. A. Stage Crew Audio visual aids are essential to the modern improved methods of teaching. Here at Academy, under the supervision of Mr. Rollinger, the active group of A. V. A. members provide teachers with the equip- ment and skill necessary for this type of education. The boys also assist the stage in presenting the many assembly programs in which audio visual aids are used. As the name suggests, the Academy stage crew has charge of all arrangements which are necessary to conduct classes and programs in the auditorium. Under the di- rection of the faculty manager, Mr. Gra- ham, the stage crew members serve at social function such as concerts, plays, and dances, where they supervise the use of scenery, lighting, and sound equipment.

STEP 2: Develop, fix, and wash the negative, dip into photo-flo and give to Don Slichter and Pat Black to hang up to dry. STEP 3: Insert the negative under the condenser of the enlarger, and Lloyd Rawson will enlarge the negative to a given size. STEP 4: Pour a solution of water and dektol in a proportion of 2:1 into a developing tray. Let Tom Herman remove exposed photo from en- larger and place into this solution. Then place into stop bath solution, a mixture of water and acetic acid in a proportion of 100:1. STEP 5: After the silver deposit has been re- moved in the fixing tray, wash one hour in warm water (68° - 80° F.). Allow someone of experience like Mr. Rollinger to check the finished photos. STEP 6: Be sure to clean up before the chemi- cals have a chance to decompose. Pick two eager beavers like Tom Younger and Dan Smith. Known throughout our school as star of her own television program, the very talented Robin Brooks is our Miss Academe. She has also played important roles in Erie Playhouse productions. Although these activities are enough to keep anyone busy, Robin is also president of our Y-teens and the local soloist with Gil Madrigale's band. Robin's ready smile and genuine friendliness are sure to make her a popular girl at Penn State, where she plans to prepare for elementary teaching. We wish Robin the very best of luck in the future and congratulate her on being chosen Miss Academe of 1958. Our Mr. Academe is an active senior lad named Frank Pettinato. His good manners and shy smile make him popular with his classmates. Frank has brought glory to Academy many times by his excellence in swimming and water polo. He has set many swimming records and this year became the state swimming champion in the 100 yard freestyle, and the 50 yard freestyle. His experience as former vice-president and now president of our Student Senate will be an asset to him in college. We feel sure our Mr. Academe will be a success in whatever he does. 85 title tic A It takes plenty of practice to master the jack-knife. Come on, boys, get that ball! We want a touchdown. . .! In order to preserve the HEALTH of the race and to develop the physical fitness of the individual, the secondary schools include health instruction as an important part of the educational program. At Academy, through school co-operation with home and community health efforts, instruction in first aid, safety, and health habits, and a student participation program of physical activities, students discover the value of good health and the way to achieve ft. In addition to essential development of sound health, participation in sports en- courages leadership and sportsmanship and makes available new ways to enjoy life. 87 Step aside, son.

FOOTBALL The roar of the Academy Lions was somewhat subdued during the first two games of the 1957 season, but the volume increased as they defeated Bradford, 33—12. Our next game was against a for- midable Tech outfit. The Lions held a 6—0 advantage going into the fourth quarter. Here Tech put on a desperate drive and scored twice to take a 13—6 lead. With 50 seconds left in the game. Bob Feldman completed a pass to Leon Ott who raced 65 yards for a score. Ott also converted, and the game ended in a 13—13 deadlock. Our determined Gold and Blue went on and defeated Ro- chester Aquinas. Because of the widespread flu epidemic, the Elwood City game was cancelled. During the following game with Vincent, our All-American Honorable Mention player, Leon Ott, ran wild and scored 4 touchdowns for a total of 24 points out of our final score of 26—7. Academy reached the top of the ladder of success by winning their last three consecutive games, and finishing an exciting season to tie Tech for second place. The Hilltoppers had a winning record of 6' victories, 1 tie, and 2 losses. This would not have been possible with- out the expert coaching of Lou Tullio and his assistants, Jack Komora and Mike Ferrare. The long tedious hours of practice of each player and the spirit of the student body has made this year a successful and memorable one. We know the Lions will continue to roar for many years to come. 90 ROW 1: R. Putt, R. Curry, R. Nason, S. Lorimer, R. Salchak, C. Calhoon, J. Simmons, J. Johnson. ROW 2: T. Simmons, D. Sette, W.

Accent on Teamwork With the returning lettermen and a fine group of new members. Coach Pettinato molded our waterpolo squad into another winning team. The Sea Lions improved with every succeeding game. Their highest scores were dunking Tech 10 to 1 and sub- merging Vincent 10 to 3. Frank Pettinato, Jr. scored 23, and Walt Smith 20, of the 64 point total for the season. The individual performance of Ottoson, Petti- nato, Jr., Crawford, Hannah, Smith, and Utley high- lighted the team effort. These six were honored by being elected to the City all Scholastic Team. Excellent coaching, long hours of practice, and teamwork were the main contributing factors to an undefeated season and city championship for the seventh straight year. ROW 1: Manager, L. Silvers, W.

In the homestretch they won 7 of their last 8 games and defeated each of their city and section op- ponents including the championship Vincent quintet. They placed third in the city series and tied with McDowell for second place in Section One standings. Our returning lettermen. Captain Bob Feldman, Bob Young, Tony Vacanti, Doc Blanchard, and Dick Conner, plus Eugene Deibler and Russ Norcross pro- moted from the J.V.'s formed a powerful regular squad.

On your marks, get set . . . Another Undefeated Season Academy's spirited track team opened its sea- son in its usual fashion by defeating Vincent 88 to 47. Continuing in the same manner, our cinder demons remained undefeated through the season under the able coaching of Mr. Giesler. Taking the high hurdles in 15.15 seconds, and setting a new city record for the low hurdles in 20.6 seconds, Chuck Thomas helped us win the City Meet. Again Academy streaked to victory winning the District Ten Meet. Chuck Thomas, while participating in the meet, set a new record for the high hurdles in 14.95 seconds. Leon Ott and Al Marthinsen ran the 220 yard dash in 23.9 seconds in the City Series. Al Marth- insen also ran the 100 yard dash in 10.4 seconds.

Sea Lions’ Captain Holds Two State Championships The Sea Lions of Coach Pettinato churned their way to second place in the city series with a fine record of 6 wins, 1 tie, and 2 losses. In the crucial meet against the championship Vincent splashers, our boys were at their best as they extended the West- siders right down to the wire and kept the final out- come in doubt until the conclusion of the final event. Frank Pettinato, Jr., led the team and person- ally compiled one of the finest records in the annals of the school. He set two school records as he low- ered the standard for the 50 yard free style to 24.4; he slashed his own record in the 100 yard free style from 53.4 to 53.1. Frank went on to win the state championships in both these events. Outlook for next year is excellent as the follow- ing lettermen will be back: Jack Utley, Andy Craw- ford, John Barton, Doug Hannah, Dick Horseman, and Chuck Yartz. Victory hoped for. . .

Only Herman Bernhardt returned from a team that had won the tennis trophy the year before. Bernhardt played in the number one spot and paced the team to a tie with Vincent for second place in the city standings. Kent Baur, only a freshman, went through the season undefeated. Herman Bernhardt, Doug Baur, Kent Baur, and Arnold Brad- shaw won letters. The last three will form the nucleus for 1958.

Academy baseball team, 1957 vintage, compiled a record of 5 wins, 11 losses, and 2 ties. Hampered by inexperience throughout the season, the team played creditable baseball for a green team but lacked the extra punch to win the close ones. With most of the lettermen returning in 1958, coach Presogna is looking hopefully toward a more successful season. Pitchers Bob Young, George Gunther, Russ Norcross, and catcher Larry Frame came through with fine individual performances. Others to win letters were Gary Miner, Russell May, Bob Connors, Gary Shapira, Gary Pitetti, Herb Down, Dick Siegel, and manager Herb Armes.

Under the direction of Miss Meyette and Mrs. Robb, every girl who participates in the varied sports activity strives to attain these qualities. Intra- mural competition is stressed by awarding of school letters to those who have excelled in after-school athletics.

Kickball—and it's another homer for Janice Pettigrew. The new hair dryers are only one of the improvements which were made in the pool and gym during the year. A public address system, new clocks, and fluorescent lights were installed and general rewiring was done. The students missed some classes including junior and senior lifesaving, but the advancements made will be appreciated by students of the future. Carolyn Paris reaches for the birdie. Efforts devoted to teaching COMMAND OF FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES—reading, writing and arithmetic—have their inception in the elementary grades. In order to pre- pare students for successful modern day living these efforts must be continued through- out the educational program. However, facility in these processes alone is not suffi- cient background to meet the demands of our society,- more training is necessary. On the higher levels of schooling the use of the fundamental processes is intensified and broadened by their application to operative and advanced studies, giving the student a pragmatic, well rounded education. 107 John Balia Marian Blake Elizabeth Brown Catherine Carroll Language is the basis of Chris Root hunts for information for his senior thesis Glenette McCarthy Winifred Mong 108 Joseph Hobos all human communication. Language is basic to all human communication. All oral and written expression, all interpretation of the printed page, all listening require the media of language for mutual understanding and for an intelligent interchange of ideas. The teacher of the language arts should be equipped to instruct others in how to make their use of language effective and in how to decipher the denotations and connotations of language when used by others; to prepare pupils for living by giving them practice in the appropriate uses of a standard American English language and by enriching their experience through opening the doors to the ideas em- bodied in the literature of many ages and nations; and to help his charges, in accordance with their capacities, to meet the problems which confront them both in school and in life. The teacher of English should create a favorable attitude toward language itself through a respect for words and the work they do. He should aid pupils to understand the printed page, to say exactly what they mean, to express these meanings in language appropriate for a specific occasion, and to organize their ideas in an orderly and logical sequence. Ruth Schoenfeld Fred Torrance Lynette von Korff Kathryn Young 109 Sylvia Burgui n Frances Major John Huzenic knows that verb conjugation pays off. The educated mind is With modern means of communication and transporta- tion, a knowledge of foreign languages is very desirable. The world of today is only 60 hours large and people of different countries are in contact with each other more and more. A practical value as well as a cultural value can be derived from the study of a foreign language. Along the practical line, persons involved in inter- national trade must have a keen knowledge of languages to stimulate good foreign relations. People who engage in foreign travel, both for education or pleasure, find it nec- essary to have some knowledge of the language of the country they are visiting. The United Nations is an example of mass interpretation in practice. The members can hear what is being said in any language desired. Culturally, a knowledge of a foreign language can be the key to open the doors of vast stores of great literature. It is a definite asset to understanding foreign psychology. To most scientists, teachers, and other cultural leaders it is an absolute necessity. Howard Eichert George Giesler Leo Harkins George Havican 110 William Rollinger Ruth Schoenfeld curious and independent. The effect of science on modern living is greater to- day than ever before. The need for young people to enter the various scientific careers is one of our nation's greatest problems. To meet this challenge on the high school level, we must train our students to think scientifically and to master the relevant fundamentals. Consequently, we encourage them to generate interest in science, particularly in biology, chemistry, horticulture, physics, and science survey. Study of science contributes to understanding of methods of science and of ways in which progress is made by analyzing present major problems. Science becomes most effective when it is made an integral part of the pupil's experience. This helps him solve the problems which a citizen has to face in his individual and social life. Students are taught to think critically, to show en- thusiasm for the delights of scientific knowledge, and to investigate ways of increasing the range and depth of understanding national processes. Above all, they are taught the value of thinking independently, of distinguish- ing ends from the means, probability from certainty, and rational belief from superstition.

Ethel Ruhling Anthony Verga Laura Wagner Eileen Wardell 111 John Mifkovic Theresa Strauch Rita Russell Helen Schneider Every day spent Maria Weschler The need for mathematics by engineers and scientists is widely recognized, but we are likely to forget its importance in the shop, in business, and in everyday life. The importance of clear thinking is great in our personal, community, and national affairs; consequently, in the mathematics courses, we stress practice and skill in deductive thought. Geometry provides an ideal field for observing and exercising the process of de- ductive logic. The more advanced mathe- matics courses, algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry, are stepping-stones for further vocational preparation. Students of mathematics learn not only to think logically, but to become more pro- ficient in their chosen vocation, and more dependable citizens in their community.

The business department of Academy High School endeavors to give its students the best and finest specific business training possible in order to qualify these students for any office positions at any time. It aims to give students a background in the manage- ment of land, labor, capital, insurance, and taxation. Students come into contact with these not only in business offices, but also in everyday life. Skill is not the only factor necessary in the business world. The teachers of this de- partment strive to develop wholesome consumer attitudes, character traits, and appreciations. The ability to get along with people is necessary for the co-operation needed in a smooth running business office. Business education contributes to the voca- tional, economic, and social training of students.

United States history, and problems of democracy. Through their studies, the students gain an understanding of the contributing factors which have led the world and our own nation to arrive at their present situation. Believing that a correct understanding of these factors is necessary for every citizen in our democracy, the faculty members show the relationship of the past to the present and the need for recognizing and solving the prob- lems in our modern society. They prepare the students to carry out their future role in the governing of our nation by providing valuable democratic experiences for them. The teachers stress the value and dignity of each in- dividual and the opportunities which are available in our society for each student to develope his talents. They help the students to understand that the need for democratic attitudes in the home, school, and society demands that good citizens should adopt an open-minded and constructively critical outlook. 114 John Leamy Frank Pettinato opens the door to success. The Art Department fosters creative ability, observation, and discrimination. An acquaintance with the visual arts is just as important for a well-rounded personality as the acquisition of knowledge in the sciences and humanities. Art is a vital force in life, and consciously or not, intelligent consumers use it in everyday life. The Music Department strives to cultivate a taste for better grades of music, to acquire personal poise, to perform with ability and ease before an audience. Daily training helps to enrich the vocal quality in the individual and to teach him co-operation with a group in a common endeavor. Above all, it is the wish of the Department to develop the excellence of the various choral groups for the pleasure and honor of our own school, and after graduation, to perform acceptably in choral groups of the community.

Special subjects taught at Academy are equal in import- ance to mathematics, languages, social studies. They en- courage the individual student to develop his special talents, interests, and aptitudes. Besides lending variety to a strict academic course, special subjects help develop a well-rounded personality and give practical experience for subjects such as mathematics, science, English, and social studies. In subjects such as drafting, machine shop, sewing, and cooking, aptitudes are developed into skills that may some- day determine the vocations of the students. Health and Physical Education classes help students to become healthier, happier, and more useful citizens in their community. Classes in drivers' education teach courtesy and safety on the highway. The merchandizing class furnishes its students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have acquired to everyday situations. Both students and faculty members use the library privi- leges to supplement their knowledge and broaden their out- look on life through the many books, pamphlets, magazines, and newspapers available. Special subjects will help the student meet the many problems that will arise after graduating from high school. Sandra Stumberger Distributive Education Edith Meyette Physical Education Mary Robb Physical Education Drivers' Education Walter Strosser Drivers' Education Clarence Swahn Drafting Louis Tullio Physical Education Maria Weschler Drivers' Education Our Guidance Services include the serious efforts of the administration and the entire faculty in conduct- ing group activities designed to aid pupils in solving their problems and in making adjustments to situations they must meet. These activities assist students in know- ing themselves as individuals and as members of society,- in making the most of their strengths, and in compen- sating for weaknesses; in learning about educational and occupational opportunities, so that each individual may plan, in whole or in part, for a career. Our objectives are achieved through co-operative relationships among the home, school and community,- through use of a system of cumulative records and re- ports,- through professional interpretation of these re- cords for each individual; through multiple counseling; through co-ordination of the work of the school with that of community agencies, and through special pro- visions for articulating the efforts of the school with the needs of students.

Parent-Teacher Association The purpose of the Parent-Teacher As- sociation is to promote the welfare of chil- dren and youth in home, school, church, and community. This organization strives to secure adequate laws for the care and pro- tection of every child and to raise the standards of home life. Believing that the home and school must be brought into closer relation so that parents and teachers may co-operate in- telligently in the training of the child, our PTA sponsored an open-house on November 6, from 7 to 9 P.M. Throughout the year, the PTA promotes rummage sales and ice cream socials to maintain a fund for helping students who plan further education. They present this money in the form of scholarships to several seniors for their high scholastic achieve- ments and good citizenship. These projects and the monthly program meetings develop united efforts between educators and the general public to secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.

The primary concern of the underclassman is WORTHY HOME-MEMBERSHIP. He must develop those qualities that make him a worthy member of the family, both con- tributing to, and deriving from, that membership. School life contributes to this develop- ment in many ways. Studies, activities, friendships, and guidance—all take part in the growth of the student's ability to be a deserving home member. l2l M. Adams J. Ahl P. Albert D. Alcox M. Aldridge C. Anderson C.
